Well, I took a quick look on the Forma...

First, in case it helps someone else... Trying to setup overdrive, there was no option for Overdrive in settings. Turns out I had been shopping around on the Kobo site (from the computer) and my address was set to India. Once I set it back to the U.S., Overdrive showed up. Setup of Overdrive seems a little clunky. I needed to log in a couple of times, first through my overdrive account, it than asked me for a library, than asked me to log in to Overdrive again; my overdrive account was all setup previously with a library.

As far as the U.I, it may work.

If it was me, I would use a computer and not the ereader for browsing the library. To get to Just Added, you need to scroll down several times. Speed seems acceptable. Once you are there, only three books are displayed at a time. Personally, Just Added is what I browse the most, looking for new ebooks. And I don't care about "what is popular", I want to know what was added in date order. To do multiple scrolls and drop down a choice to view latest is a little tedious.

I've always found typing on the keyboard to be tedious, so doing searches becomes tedious.

I was able to view and cancel holds, although I'm not sure how to get to them consistently. I couldn't find them at first, than I found "View your public library holds" on the home screen. Later, I went back to the home screen, and the holds didn't appear; went back and forth several times trying to find holds, and it showed up on the home screen again.

My guess is that it would be 50% chance she would find it acceptable.
